I officially completed this challenge too. Woohoo! The Buy 1 Book and Read it challenge for 2010 is hosted by My Friend Amy. I selection option 3 which was to buy 12 books and read them. I did buy a lot more than 12, but at least I read 12 of them! haha! I'm happy that most of the books I did buy were from used book fairs, although unhappy that those are most that have gone unread. Most of the books I bought new or used online I have read or am scheduled to read within the next several months.
Honestly, I have to admit that I think this year I have bought less than in years passed. I'm happy because that means I read more of what I already owned, but at the same time sad because I do like to support authors by buying their books.
Here's a list of the books I read for this challenge, the reviews can be found HERE.

Congrats on completing the challenge! These days I only buy books at library sales unless they're something I absolutely must have, though it's hard to justify those purchases these days.
Bermudaonion - Thanks!
Anna - Thanks! You have more willpower than I do. haha!
